Aquaculture Biosecurity Awareness

Karamaliyootru Beach

29 Jun 2024

With Dr. Fouzi, we trained ~55 families on fish disease risks (viral, bacterial, parasitic), basic hygiene, and good aquaculture practices. We also supported them with ration packs.

Why It Matters

  • Prevents disease outbreaks and cuts unnecessary antibiotic use.
  • Protects household incomes linked to fish and reduces environmental harm.
  • Builds a direct link between science/experts and the community.

Possible Impacts

  • Short term: better hygiene around gear and ponds
  • Long term: fewer outbreaks, steadier incomes, less antimicrobial resistance, and better product quality.

SDG Alignment

  • SDG 3 – Good Health & Well-Being
  • SDG 14 – Life Below Water
  • SDG 17 – Partnerships for the Goals
